Could Financial Reform Curb Wall Street? (Audio)

Will the financial reform plan that’s currently on the table prevent another economic crisis? On the next Your Call, we’ll continue our Agenda for a New Economy series by looking at financial reform. Will it fundamentally change the way Wall Street operates? Will it end bank bailouts? What laws do you think should be put in place to protect citizens? Is it even possible to get a good bill with Wall Street and Washington so closely aligned? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar.

Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
